Don Giovanni’s Classic Bakery

I ordered a birthday cake and a pizza to be delivered to my mother for her birthday. They were super polite and accommodating on the phone. My order was delivered timely and exactly how I had ordered it. My mom was thrilled by her surprise. Even the delivery guy wished her a Happy Birthday when he dropped it off. Thank you, Don Giovanni’s.

This was our second time ordering from Don Giovanni’s. The first time we had pasta dinners (eggplant parm, shrimp scampi) that came with a side salad and pastry dessert. They were all delicious. This time we ordered a ham calzone, roasted pork sandwich, meatball sandwich, and several pastries. Everything was amazing! Their prices are great for the amount and quality of the food. This is our new «go to».

Ordered lunch for some family on Sunday from here and it blew me away. Food was excellent, and we received so much for the cost. I way over ordered but just enjoyed some leftover roast beef sandwich for lunch today so not the worse thing to happen. We got two pizzas a white and the old fashion both so good, plus an italian roast beef sandwich and a pork with broccoli rabe. I can’t wait to get food from here again and try other things just can’t believe I lived here for almost 5 years now and this is the first time I’ve eaten here.

When you work long hours in retail you end up with a huge list of go to places for your much needed lunch, when you don’t have enough time to drive there yourself the list sadly shrinks to a handful. After two years of a grueling schedule one appreciates the subtle resemblance to a home cooked meal, and Don Giovanni’s has that very much needed home cook feel that Feasterville very much needs. Perhaps the delivery time can use some work but if that could remotely affect the end product please take your sweet time, it is well worth it!

Best place for great food! Tomato Pie is ridiculous off the charts. Pizza roll-​ups are a steal for lunch. Donuts are the best! Staff is friendly and makes you feel like your family — five stars!!!

I was disappointed in the amount of time I waited to even get spoken to let alone the time it took to get what I wanted at a time that was not busy. Although the the baked goods were tasty the service was not up to par.

My family had been regular customers of the baked goods here for at least 10 years until this past weekend. Unfortunately, the most important item on the bakery menu — italian rum cake — was changed with no notice to the regular patrons. The cake no longer has a layer of chocolate cream that is a staple of the recipe in general. Sadly we will have to find another italian bakery to fill the void :-(

I love this place a lot. So much so that I asked my boyfriend to get food from here to greet me with at the airport when I flew home. If that’s not a ringing endorsement then I don’t know what is.
This is one of my favorite places on earth for many reasons. First of all, it’s a family owned, family operated shop. The owners are sweet and friendly and ALWAYS ask me how my mom is doing. Second, the food is crazy delicious and all home made. Favorites include their pepperoni rolls, hoagies, chicken cutlets, broccolini, long hot peppers, and BREAD!!! The bread is seriously out of this world. We also love their soups and their homemade sauces.
Sometimes it’s nice to get pre-​made sandwiches and cheesesteaks from here and have the work done for you, but in reality I prefer to go and stock up on all the separate ingredients and then make my own sandwiches, salads, pizzas and pasta dishes for days!
I am obsessed. Get here. Now.

Known John for years, we used to lunch at his place on Castor Ave in Philly
Great pizza, his sandwiches are huge! Pork w sharp prov, cheese steaks, chicken cheese steaks. Hot meals are big as well and very tasty!

best real Italian food around. definitely a winner in the savory vs. the sweet department. Best roll-​ups ever, an awesome selection for vegetarians as well as barbaric strictly meat eaters! Love their veggie sandwich with lots of fresh mozzarella!

Would NOT recommend it. Went there twice in the past year and both times was a huge failure. The cookies I got the first time had the worse after taste to them and the second time i got the pound cake which was not fully cooked. Don’t recommend at all and won’t be going back.

We were semi-​regular customers of this bakery until two things happened: (1) the owner got himself in (well-​publicized) trouble with the law (as another Unilocaler advised, «Google it»); and (2) we found other Italian bakeries whose offerings were superior. The bakery has an ambitious inventory for a small space: breads, deli, pizza, pastries, cakes and cookies. Of their myriad offerings, they excel in the bread category (especially the small football shaped rolls and the seeded round loaf). They are a reliable source for fresh breadcrumbs, too. The Mister also enjoyed their towering strawberry shortcake cake. If we were to have a baked goods emergency, we might stop here again.

DO NOT pass this place up! Not much of an atmosphere to be had in this little Italian bakery/​kitchen, but the food is where they shine.
The massive dessert display cases are always full of the most incredible array of traditional and contemporary treats. I’m not a big dessert person, but their cannoli is well worth it.
They are a bakery foremost, and always have a speedrack full of assorted fresh breads.
Garlic lovers rejoice, they are heavy handed in that department. Their white spinach and garlic pizza is phenomenal, and the spinach salad comes tossed in fresh garlic. Let me go on about the spinach salad… it comes with several strips of bacon — STRIPS, not bacon bits! Also, a side of freshly shaved reggiano. I ordered grilled chicken with my salad and I swear they gave me a pound of chicken, beautifully marinated and hot off the grill.
One may balk at the prices when looking at the menu, but trust me, the portions are enormous, and if you order a pasta you get a 3 course meal.
All ingredients that I have seen are fresh and of very high quality. Staff is always very nice and friendly; the place has a real family business atmosphere.
Go to Don’s, you won’t be disappointed.

This place has gone downhill ever since they were in the paper.(Google it.)
I used to get takeout from them once every month or so a few years ago and enjoyed it each time, especially their tomato pie. I went back last weekend for the first time in over a year and was very disappointed with my meal and the service.
I placed a takeout order over the phone and the man who answered (the owner?) mumbled quite a bit and was not friendly at all…
We went to pickup the order — my boyfriend ordered a panini with fries, and I ordered a veggie wrap — and by the time we drove less than 1 mile home everything was soggy and gross. Boyfriend’s fries were soggy and not fit to be fed to a dog. His panini was okay, except the bread was not fresh and tasted stale.
My veggie wrap was very soggy and completely soaked through my tortilla. I threw out the tortilla and ate the veggies, which were OK. I also ordered a small garden salad, but the lettuce tasted gross and the balsamic vinagrette dressing did not taste very good. I didn’t eat any of it.
For $ 18 I’ll go somewhere else…

Don Giovanni’s tries to do too many things at once. When you walk in, you’ll notice a lot of tempting stuff, but not all of it (particularly the sweet stuff) is great. Cannolis here didn’t impress me, I’ve honestly had better from a supermarket. A recent carrot cake purchase proved downright inedible, as the cake was rimmed with rancid nuts. Other pastries have been lackluster.
Stick to savory items (bread, pizzas, calzones, etc) and you’ll be rewarded, however. Don Giovanni’s has a great bread dough recipe, so their rolls have a crispy crust that gives way to a yeasty, very flavorful, fluffy interior. Get there early to buy bread; it stales quickly. I’m pretty sure pizzas and the like are based off of this recipe, as the crusts have excellent flavor. The sauce tastes fresh and you can get pretty cool toppings on anything you order (long hots, broccoli rabe, and the like).
This place has become my go-​to bread vendor. I’ve learned my lesson and haven’t bought any sweets in a while, but the savory stuff has never disappointed.

This is the best Italian food in the area. The owners Don & Deb will really take care of you, especially if you have a big party or event that needs to be Catered. LOVE their pizza. The only downside is the size of their store. It can get pretty crowded on busy nights but that just means the food is in demand… You can only take out though but worth it.

I used to live in the neighborhood behind Don Giovanni’s. My family always loved the tomato pie and all their fresh pastries. I live in Florida now but I stop by for a tomato pie and other goodies every time I’m in town. The food and the people working there are simply the best!

The pieces are definitely in place but something is not running smoothly.
My office gets food catered from here once a week. I’m not a big fan of their catered sandwiches. However, I did have a positive experience when I actually went to the store itself.
When you walk in this place it is bursting at the seams with pastries. There is no set style. They basically make everything. Imagine a flea market of pastries. Anyway, huge selection.
I ordered a breakfast sandwich. It was served on a freshly baked roll. So fresh that I watched it come out of the oven. Their breakfast sandwiches are 3 eggs (scrambled) cheese and your choice of veggie. I went with broccoli rabe.
It was messy to eat. I think they could cut the amount of eggs on the sandwich and subsequently the price. Still, it was very tasty.
So I think this place has real potential but it could use a little bit of refinement.

We got a bunch of food from here for my daughter’s birthday party and it was all amazing. We went there especially for the tomato pie and white pies, but they have cakes and cookies and prepared foods as well. While we waited for our order to be ready we sampled fresh, hot, rolls and fried zucchini. Everything there was delicious. I wanted to go back and try more, but didn’t have time during this visit. We’ll definitely go on the next trip.

Finally, a great bakery is in our area. I have passed it too many times and finally a gal from work brought in the best stromboli I have had in a long time! The bread was so good and the spinach and cheese with peppers and onions made my mouth go wow!
This is an Italian bakery folks with homemade breads, pizza dough, pastries and awesome sandwiches. They have a nice sized deli with meats, cheeses, olives, all kinds of peppers, fresh mozzarella and salds.
They make homemade entrees and soups and their pizza or tomato pies as they call them are delicious!
Great food! Don’t pass them up! I need to try their subs!
